Preaching The David Story, Rolf A. Jacobson
Preaching The David Story, Rolf A. Jacobson
Faculty Publications
The David story is the longest and most complete biblical treatment of any one human life. This allows the story to speak to many stages of the faith journey. The story is not fully present in the pericopes, but the preacher can choose to use this material in a sermon series to address the spiritual and moral contexts of our age.

Was The Chronicler A Spin Doctor?: David In The Books Of Chronicles, Mark A. Throntveit
Faculty Publications
Yes, the Chronicler was a spin doctor—but a necessary one. He used the David story to address the needs of his postexilic community who questioned the value of God’s old promises to David in this new time of Persian domination, without a king, worshiping in a temple that was the mere shadow of Solomon’s glorious edifice.

Faculty Publications
As we journey soon into the new beginnings of post-Labor Day autumn, what will it mean to deny ourselves, take up our crosses, and follow Jesus?

Who Controls The Water? Yahweh Vs. Baal, Fred E. Woods
Who Controls The Water? Yahweh Vs. Baal, Fred E. Woods
